Trends in curricular review and admissions and graduation requirements at U.S. colleges and universities are examined, based on survey responses from 413 institutions. Data from these institutions were weighted to represent 2,623 four- and two-year institutions. It was found that almost all institutions are in the midst of curriculum change, involving new general education requirements and greater emphasis on student competencies and skills. Close to half of the schools are reviewing or recently completed a review of admission requirements. The aim is to raise or be more specific about requirements or to review the role of test scores in the admissions process. Additional findings include the following: 4 out of 10 institutions have institution-wide writing requirements; about 2 in 10 four-year colleges and universities require foreign language study; 62 percent of the institutions have programs focusing on student retention; 76 percent of colleges with teacher education programs have tightened their standards in recent years; and close to half offer credit and noncredit courses on business premises for business employees. Tables of the statistical findings along with a narrative summary are provided, along with the survey questionnaire and a description of the weighting methodology. (SW)
